Valneva, Barrick Gold, Central African Gold: Inflation fears and liberation strike
High inflation keeps investors on their toes. In August, the inflation rate in the US remained at a high level of 5.3% compared to the same month last year, as announced by the Labor Department of the world's largest economy. Therefore, the increase in consumer prices was only slightly below market expectations and the increase in July of 5.4%. Compared with the previous month, prices were 0.3% higher. Inflation data usually brings momentum to commodity stocks - positive as well as negative. This is as true for Barrick Gold as for Central African Gold, with one on a good path to higher prices. Valneva shareholders would like to see higher prices after the crash. However, analysts remain cautious.

MorphoSys, HelloFresh, Aspermont - Price halving or rebound?
Investors are likely to speculate on a rebound in the Valneva share in the coming days; because the price slide of over 30% on Monday was violent. Stifel analysts see sales and earnings estimates for 2020 and 2021 in jeopardy after the UK government unexpectedly canceled a major order for the COVID-19 vaccine under development. Investors have been waiting for a rebound in MorphoSys shares for some time. The latest analyst assessment gives little hope. If Bernstein Research has its way, HelloFresh could soon be down almost 50%. Aspermont seems ripe for a rebound - the share is interesting from a chart perspective, and analysts advise buying.

SMA Solar, Standard Lithium, Almonty Industries: Between profit warning and supercycle!
It is not only semiconductors that are in short supply, but also numerous industrial raw materials. The situation is only getting worse. In the case of lithium, demand is expected to increase fivefold in a few years. Tungsten is also in demand, and China is an unreliable quasi-monopolist. As a result, raw materials are in short supply, and prices are rising. More and more companies are suffering as a result, like Germany's SMA Solar. The inverter manufacturer had to cut its forecast and analysts promptly reduced their price targets. On the other hand, some companies are benefiting from the situation. Highflyer Standard Lithium is one of them. Due to positive industry and company news, the share is accelerating again. Almonty Industries is also facing exciting months.

HelloFresh, Zalando, AdTiger - Digitization conquers not only the DAX
Digitization is on the rise: in our lives, in the stock market and also in the DAX. And so, after more than 30 years, Germany's leading index is getting a makeover. On September 20, 2021, it will be expanded from 30 to 40 companies. With the newcomers, more digitalization is also moving into the elite index like the cooking box delivery Company HelloFresh and online fashion retailer Zalando. Both companies are benefiting from the trend toward digitization and have grown rapidly in recent years. Analysts continue to see potential. Hot stock AdTiger is still far from billions in sales, but its focus on online advertising offers exciting prospects.

HelloFresh, TeamViewer and wallstreet:online: Up to 50% price potential
Record levels wherever you look: DAX, MDAX, TechDAX. Apart from minor corrections, the past few months have been a lot of fun for stock market players overall. In particular, companies benefiting from the Corona pandemic were among the high flyers. These included vaccine manufacturers such as BioNTech and Moderna, the cooking box mail order Company HelloFresh, the software Company TeamViewer and wallstreet:online. The latter is not only a stock market portal operator but is also shaking up the online broker market with their Smartbroker. All three companies have also consolidated in the meantime - sometimes more violently, sometimes less - and are still recommended by analysts. The price targets are up to 50% above the current values.

Sales explosion? Novavax and Diamcor on the trail of BioNTech
When companies suddenly report strong jumps in sales, investors should take a closer look. On the one hand, there may be considerable opportunities for share price gains. On the other hand, it must also be checked whether the development is sustainable or whether it is a one-off or seasonal event. BioNTech has impressively shown that the Company and the share can profit from a sudden increase in sales. Who is next? Investors should take a closer look at the vaccine developer Novavax and the diamond producer Diamcor - it could be worthwhile.

Lang & Schwarz, NEL, GSP Resource - Short-term or long-term rebound?
No annual general meeting, no dividend, in-house tax discovery and loss of confidence - the news from Lang & Schwarz on Tuesday could hardly have been more severe. Accordingly, the share price fell by more than 35% in after-hours trading. On Wednesday, the share price rebounded with a double-digit gain. But the possible involvement of the stockbroker in the Cum-Ex deal will certainly keep investors busy for longer. The NEL share also made significant gains on Wednesday. It benefited from an order and the generally friendly mood in the hydrogen sector. Copper specialist GSP Resource has been on the rise again for some time because the raw material could soon become scarce. When asking how sustainable the rebound is in each case, one should look at the details.

BioNTech, Standard Lithium, Desert Gold - Before the breakout?
Following record highs, the stock markets consolidated last week. The same was true for high-flyer stocks BioNTech and Standard Lithium. Although investors continue to fear persistently high inflation, both companies can benefit from positive news and have started the new stock market week on a positive note. Thus, the lethargy is over and the old record highs are being targeted. Those who want to hedge against inflation fears should look at Desert Gold as a speculative alternative. The consolidation could soon be over for the gold explorer as well.

First Majestic, Palantir, Silver Viper - Precious metals - The calm before the storm?
After the flash crashes, calm has returned to gold and silver. Is it just the calm before the storm? Currently, gold is working its way through resistance in the USD 1,790 area. Between USD 1,830 and USD 1,840 would then be the next critical zone. The purchase of gold by Palantir is raising eyebrows. Interesting: The tech company specializes in the use of big data to predict future developments. So does it know more? In addition, First Majestic has published strong figures, and junior explorer Silver Viper convinces with drilling success and takeover fantasy.

Varta, Nordex, Saturn Oil & Gas - Buy or Sell?
It was a generally positive week on the stock market last week; however, things seem to be more unsettled this week. After the jump above the 16,000 point mark in the DAX, profit-taking is to be expected. On Monday, negative news from Asia weighed in on the mood: In China, the retail and industry's economic data were weaker than expected. In addition, the spread of the Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus is worrying market participants. On the corporate side, analysts are speaking out. Varta, for example, has failed to meet expectations, and the forecast hangs on Apple. In contrast, the shares of Nordex and Saturn Oil & Gas have been recommended as a buy. A 200% price potential beckons.

Varta, Barrick Gold, Aztec Minerals - Before the showdown!
There is currently no sign of summer doldrums on the capital markets. Not only BioNTech is exploding, shares of lithium and battery producers are also rising strongly. On the other hand, the gold price is going crazy: After better-than-expected data from the US labor market, the gold price buckled significantly at the start of the week and has only recovered slightly so far. Nevertheless, the industry has positive news: heavyweight Barrick Gold increases profits, and at Explorer Aztec Minerals, investors ask when the knot will burst? The battery specialist Varta is also exciting at the moment, and Friday will be a showdown.

Hot autumn for BioNTech, NanoRepro and XPhyto: Nothing works without testing and vaccination
Shares of Corona vaccine and test manufacturers are in for a hot fall. Summer is drawing to a close, and the Delta variant is hard to stop. Calls for stricter measures are growing. Politicians are calling for vaccination premiums and mandatory testing for travelers returning home. The 1st FC Cologne recently announced that it would only allow vaccinated people into the stadium. BioNTech, NanoRepro and XPhyto are among the beneficiaries of this development. The latter Company could also benefit from demands from politicians. SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach called for mandatory "PCR" testing for unvaccinated people before visiting restaurants.
